DIY

Keeping birds as pets can be expensive!!  If you lack all of the funds necessary to lavish your feathered friend in gifts - don't worry!  Almost any toy you buy at the pet store for some ridiculous price can be made simply and cheaply at home.

Everyday items that you can use as toys for budgies include:
-cardboard egg cartons
-undyed leather string
-all natural (not painted/stained) wicker wreaths *found at the local dollar store
-pony beads too big to fit in your budgies mouth
-dowel rods
-hemp string
-old baby toys
-dog ropes *also from the dollar store
